Ultimate TC Bed?

I saw this as well, they truly did think of almost everything. You put your TC in the back of it, if you didn't know that already. Trouble is the cost. I called them and a basic unit without all the extras, of which there are many, was $12K. That is in the ballpark for a custom made utility bed.

This unit is a bit more versatile than a utility bed, but personally I wouldn't want to sink that kind of money in truck that I would have to part with if and when I sold that truck.

Yup, not cheap for sure, so not for everybody. But not a huge upcharge in total for those that are dropping well over $100k on a truck and TC setup.
And with the same wheelbase and configuration (srw or dual), it would not be a major undertaking to modify it for a new truck.
They do seem to provide about the best combo of utility, appearance, security, storage and workspace (fold down sides = table/workbench.

For me? Not now. I'm cheap and the camper is only on the truck a few times a year. I paid less for my camper than this bed costs. But if a person was serious about their TCing this looks quite handy.

Not sure what that has to do with anything in this thread.

Sounds like you've been serious about sleeping on it?
What I see as potential problem with the linked bed is putting camper some distance behind the cabin. Is it 16" or 2 feet?
That with heavy camper like Host, will do bad trick with COG.
Than using the storages for stuff, I think this bed would apply to 5500/550 series truck only if you really want to use it.

Well whaddaya know...they showed it on a 4500/5500 c n c truck, so thanks captain obvious.

If you upgrade to a newer truck with the same needs, you can take the bed with you. You started with a cab and chassis right?
Full disclosure...teally like the Douglass beds!

I still think a douglass body would be a better, everyone's sitch is different though.

When I read "TC bed" in the title, I thought of the ultimate mattress for a truck camper, not a truck bed.

Since this is TC bed, how do you sleep on it?

Lay down flat. COver up with a blankie. Lay your head on a pilla if you want a soft cushion for your noggin.
